“I get the letters in from BDO regularly containing updates on their costs– they’re astronomical.

“I got a cheque a couple of months ago for payment and it was something ridiculous like £50. And there are people owed a lot more money than me.

“In my opinion, people like us, who worked for the club, should’ve been looked after a bit better rather than these people lining their pockets.

“I felt the payment I eventually received was just a bit embarrassing.”

Since the club went into administration under former owner Craig Whyte in February 2012, legal firms acting for BDO have received nearly £10.4million, while the liquidator bill stood at £4.1million in April this year.

Papers reveal £8.2million in legal fees so far have gone to London-based firm Stephenson Harwood and were mostly over the settlement of a claim against Collyer Bristow, the solicitors involved in Whyte’s controversial takeover of the club.

It was revealed in 2014 that liquidators had banked £24million for creditors.

Just £8.2million was left to distribute to those who lost money as a result of the club’s financial implosion.

The collapse of Rangers left thousands of unsecured creditors out of pocket, including more than 6000 fans who bought £7.7million worth of debenture seats at Ibrox.

Creditors ranged from large firms such as Coca-Cola to face-painting and picture-framing businesses.

One small business owner, who asked not to be named as he still supplies Rangers, said: “I was owed hundreds of pounds but received about £50.

“You just feel it’s an injustice when you hear about the huge sums being paid to legal and accountancy firms involved in the liquidation.”

Jim Diamond, an expert on legal costs, said: “It’s an indication of the Scottish legal marketplace, which is totally geared up for the professional people and not to the benefit of the general public and, in this case, the creditors.

“The case is an absolute disgrace. Ordinary creditors have been completely stitched up. How can this be normal or acceptable?”

A spokesman for joint liquidators BDO said: “Liquidation procedures such as this are extremely complex undertakings."The Joint Liquidators recognise creditors’ frustrations and continue to do all they can to ensure maximum returns to them."BDO’s fees are entirely in line with standard industry practice and have been scrutinised and approved by the creditors committee.”
